## Why This Project Is Being Archived
83+
84+
After much consideration, we have decided to archive this repository and focus our efforts on a new, improved version of Academia hosted at [opencrafts-io/academia](https://github.com/opencrafts-io/academia). Here are the main reasons behind this decision:
85+
86+
1. **Broader Reach:**
87+
This original app was designed specifically for Daystar University, Kenya. Our new platform aims to be truly global and usable by students from universities all over the world.
88+
89+
2. **Legal and Organizational Support:**
90+
We are now an official open-source entity under Open Crafts Interactive (opencrafts.io), which provides a stronger legal and organizational foundation to support the project’s growth.
91+
92+
3. **Improved Architecture and Features:**
93+
The current app’s architecture limits the addition of many exciting new features we have planned. The new codebase is designed to be more scalable, maintainable, and flexible to accommodate future innovations.
94+
95+
4. **Better Student Experience:**
96+
We hope the new app will offer a more enjoyable, engaging, and useful experience for students everywhere.
97+
98+
5. **Easier Project Management:**
99+
Managing the project under a dedicated organization allows for better control, collaboration, and long-term sustainability.
100+
101+
We encourage all contributors and users to join us in the new repository where the future of Academia is being built. Thank you for your support and contributions to this project!
